English term or phrase: jet stream
Definition from National Weather Service Upton, NY:
Relatively strong winds that are concentrated in a narrow band in the atmosphere. Jet Streams are usually thousands of kilometers long, hundreds of kilometers wide but only a few kilometers thick. They are usually found between 6 and 10 miles above the surface.

Example sentence(s):
  • This page displays the current location of the Atlantic jet stream and also the forecast position and intensity over the next seven days. metcheck
  • One of the main drivers of world’s weather is moving due to climate change. As this ScienCentral News report explains, scientists are finding that the jet stream, that river of air that pushes storms across the country, is moving towards the north and south poles. ScienCentral Archive
  • The jet stream is useful for the prediction of temperature. The jet stream divides colder air to the north from warmer air to the south. The transition between temperatures on each side of the jet is very abrupt. theweatherprediction.com

急流
Definition:
是指大气中一股强而窄的气流带。急流的水平长度达上万公里,宽数百公里,厚几公里。急流中心的长轴称为急流轴,它近于水平分布。急流中心最大风速在对流层的上部必须大于或等于30米/秒,它的风速水平切变量级为每100公里5米/秒,垂直量级为每公里5?10米/秒。按急流出现的高度不同,一般可分为高空急流和低空急流。

Example sentence(s):
  • 摘  要:参照北美研究低空急流气候特征的方法,对中国低空急流进行重新定义,实现了低空急流定义的统一,并在此基础上对低空急流活动特征进行了分析。结果表明:中国低空急流主要有两个活动中心,分别位于江南地区和东北地区;江南地区的低空急流活动主要有两个活跃期,分别为1-4月和6-7月;东北地区的低空急流活动主要表现为2月、8-9月两个活动较弱期;江南地区的低空急流主要在6-8月表现出独立的急流轴,东北地区则主要在8月份;汛期低空急流活动与长江流域区域性暴雨有伴随性,多雨年急流次数很多,少雨年则很少;长江中下游及两湖盆地附近急流活动有明显的日变化。 - 中国西南低空急流活动的统计�

Notes to answerer
Andrzej Mierzejewski BTW autor użył określenia "silnik wentylatorowy", które oznacza miejsce zastosowania, przeznaczenie - analogicznie do: silnik samochodowy, silnik motocyklowy, silnik zaburtowy.

Izabela Pogracka - Michalak Dziękuję. Niestety, w przypadku tej firmy często notki o produktach piszą różne osoby, używając różnego słownictwa do opisywania tych samych rzeczy. Wasza mądrość zbiorowa okazuje się często bezcenna, bo możecie spojrzeć na tekst innym okiem, bez nastawienia, które ja zazwyczaj juź posiadam.

噴射氣流


Definition from Central Weather Bureau:
相對強風之集中,在大氣層內一狹窄之氣流。此名詞可用於任何此種氣流,不論其風向為何 (包括垂直方向), 但現正逐漸將此一名詞專指中緯度西風帶內近似水平最大風速之噴射氣流, 且集中於對流層之上部。噴射氣流之維持問題為理論氣象學之重要問題。此種噴射氣流有時可劃分為兩類:主要之一種稱為「極鋒噴射氣流」(Polar-front jetstream) 與中緯度及中高緯度之極鋒相偕,甚為散漫,可延展環繞整個半球,但亦如極鋒,並不連續,逐日之變動極大。另在緯度20至30度間某些經度發現「副熱帶噴射氣流」(Subtropical jet stream), 而以亞洲海岸外圍最強。現分析高空圖時,凡確實決定風速等於或超過50浬/ 時之處即示有噴射氣流。

Example sentence(s):
  • 喷射气流是第二次世界大战时,美国B29轰炸机在日本本土进行轰炸时无意中发现的。 - 百度百科
